Chapter 803: Continue the March
"Ben already knew what they were coming from, so why ask where they came from. ”
"What do you mean?"
"These people are just ordered to disturb the morale of our army, and the top priority is to stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible,"
After speaking, without waiting for the person behind him to react, Lin Xuanzhong walked straight towards the big tent.
"This?" Yang Shifeng looked stunned, not knowing what to say, but on the other side, Zhou Wenfeng and the others had already followed Lin Xuanzhong.
"General Yang, what will General Lin say?" Looking at the back of Lin Xuanzhong and the others leaving, General Qi was confused, and finally his gaze stopped on Yang Shifeng, who also looked dazed.
"How do I know?" After leaving a sentence impatiently, Yang Shifeng hurriedly caught up with Lin Xuanzhong and the others, leaving General Qi alone to be in charge of Lin Xuanzhong's explanation.
"General, I didn't find any other suspicious people after General Qin and I rushed out, and now General Ruan and I have set up sentry posts on the mountains on both sides to keep an eye on the situation outside," Lin Xuanzhong had just walked to the main seat and sat down, and Zhang Jiutian brought Qin Zhong in.
"I just heard from the people below that a few criminals have been arrested, why didn't the general let the prisoners be escorted to the big tent for interrogation?"
"There is no need to interrogate those people, if Ben Jiang's guess is correct, those people who attacked the camp must have been driven by the Sword City side, and their only purpose is to disturb our military morale," nodding and shaking his head at Zhang Jiutian, Lin Xuanzhong directly stated his opinion.
"Since the general has made up his mind, why don't you take those people as evidence that Yang Guo's desire is unfavorable to us?" It was Yang Shifeng who answered, and after Lin Xuanzhong's explanation, Yang Shifeng understood what Lin Xuanzhong had just expressed.
"Those three people are all small minions below, do you think that the Sword City side will recognize the identities of those three people?" Shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong continued: "Take a step back, even if the Sword City side admits that tonight's attack was launched by them, what do you think we should do next?" Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to say these disheartening words, but seeing that the people below looked puzzled one by one, he had to explain it to them.
"General, isn't there a way to deal with it?" Lin Xuanzhong's few questions calmed down all those who had doubts, and finally Xue Yin, who still didn't understand military affairs, broke the silence.
"For the time being, the general hasn't thought of it yet," shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong looked at Zhang Jiutian and Zhou Wenfeng and the others again, "Some of you are responsible for guarding, some of you are responsible for treating the wounded, and some of you are calming the hearts of the army." Lin Xuanzhong only used a few glances to divide the generals on call below into three parts, and as for the specific arrangements, those generals could coordinate with each other.
"Yes," the nine generals present agreed one after another, in fact, they still had some things they didn't understand, but it seemed that it was insignificant compared to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions, so they didn't question Lin Xuanzhong's decision one by one.
After those generals left, only Lin Xuanzhong and Xue Yin were left in the big tent.
"Xue Yin, you go back and rest early, there should be no more attacks tonight. ”
"The general also has to take care of his body," Xue Yin nodded, knowing that Lin Xuanzhong still had things to consider, so he didn't want to disturb Lin Xuanzhong.
After Xue Yin also left, the big tent suddenly became extremely clean, and sitting there, Lin Xuanzhong began to think carefully about tonight's affairs.
Similar to the previous thoughts, whether those people were driven or not, they only came to disturb the morale of the army. However, there are some deeper problems on this issue, if they are driven by people, it means that those local forces have a tendency to attack the night army, or the whole Yang country has a tendency to attack the night army. To put it simply, Yang Guo is indeed plotting against the Night Army.
This idea soon made Lin Xuanzhong realize the seriousness of the problem, so serious that even he wanted to overturn this idea, but it seemed that he could not find a reasonable basis. Thinking of the end, Lin Xuanzhong only hoped that tonight's attack was because of the dissatisfaction of the local forces with the night army, and it had nothing to do with the royal family of Yangguo. It's a pity that although he can comfort himself like this, Lin Xuanzhong becomes more and more uneasy.
By the time the attack had passed, the situation in the barracks had stabilized, and most people were already resting, except for a few who were on guard. An hour later, the news of the attack on the front army also reached Fang Quyin, and for this reason, Fang Quyin urgently summoned the generals to hold an extraordinary meeting to discuss the attack on the front army.
At the beginning of the meeting, Fang Quyin asked the messenger to repeat the attack on the front army to the generals in detail.
"As the herald said, tonight the former army was attacked by a group of people who claimed to be mountain bandits, and there were some casualties in the army, but the overall problem was not big," when the messenger finished repeating, Fang Quyin continued: "General Lin caught a few prisoners, but did not ask for specific information. ”
"General, a group of mountain bandits dare to attack the army, I'm afraid this matter is a little strange. ”
The last general felt that that group of people might not be some mountain bandits, but people sent by Sword City. ”
The last general also thought so, if it was really a mountain bandit, they would not dare to attack the regular army if they were ten dares. ”
"Those gangs chose to attack during the time when the former army was eating, and they obviously knew the movements of the former army very well, could it be that there were local spies in the former army?"
Meeting the gaze of Qu Yin above, several generals expressed their opinions one after another, obviously having already considered the problem.
"It doesn't matter what the identities of those people are, I am going to summon you here to give you an idea, how can we prevent a similar situation from happening?" Fang Quyin nodded to those generals, not denying the views of those generals, just wanting to get some more useful opinions.
In fact, Fang Quyin also had many thoughts about the attack on the former army, but now Fang Quyin wanted to see the opinions of the generals below.
"General, many situations within the former army are unclear, and it is impossible to determine whether the situation of the former army itself is good or bad for the time being, but according to the opinion of the last general, the attack on the former army is undoubtedly a precursor to Yangguo's exposure of wolf ambitions. ”
"The 40,000 new army was originally a weapon of our side, but General Lin insisted on leading them personally, so that he suffered from it, regardless of whether tonight's attack was instigated by the upper echelons of Yangguo, the last general felt that if this continued, I am afraid that General Lin's life would be in danger sooner or later. ”
"General Lin thinks that those outsiders can really be educated, but in fact, it is just that those people are interested in cursing General Lin, so that General Lin can help them live!"
"No, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup those people poured into General Lin, which can make General Lin willing to be in danger and advance and retreat with them. ”
"This will be for you to analyze and discuss the countermeasures to deal with the current problems, not for you to discuss the rights and wrongs of General Lin's behavior and personal situation, why do you always say something wrong, do you want General Lin to accompany you to discuss the merits and demerits of General Lin?"
I don't know how the people below talked about Lin Xuanzhong, Fang Quyin thought with some dissatisfaction that if these generals were allowed to continue, I was afraid that the nature of this meeting would completely deviate from the original intention. Maybe Fang Quyin has the same idea as those generals in some ways, but on the other hand, it is still a military matter.
"The last general is guilty," under Fang Quyin's questioning, those generals realized that they had lost their words, no matter whether Lin Xuanzhong did it right or not, with their identity, they had no qualifications to discuss Lin Xuanzhong, so when they noticed that Fang Quyin was dissatisfied with their behavior because of this, they didn't dare to speak up one by one. It's a pity that this council was not improved because those generals realized their mistakes, and in the following discussions, whether it was for possible problems in the former army, or on how to avoid the former army being attacked again, no one could give a wise opinion, and in the end, Fang Quyin could only hope that Lin Xuanzhong would ask for more blessings as he did a few days ago.
Leaving aside the situation in the council, although Fang Quyin had been intent on closing the distance between him and the front army in the past two days, because they were escorting large ordnance, the distance between him and the front army was now getting bigger and bigger, and the distance between the front and back was now more than twenty miles. Only if the front army deliberately slows down, the rear army has the possibility of catching up with the front army, in order to ensure the safety of the front army, Fang Quyin has sent a letter to Lin Xuanzhong to slow down the march.
The night passed, and when the troops were sent out in the morning, everything was normal in the army, and in one night, those soldiers who raised the country seemed to have adjusted their mood, and the military posture during the march was exactly the same as yesterday. The wounded soldiers last night, among which the seriously injured were carried by people, and the lightly injured were supported by people, that kind of interdependent scene was exactly what Lin Xuanzhong wanted to see.
And the mountain bandits caught last night were directly ordered to be killed by Lin Xuanzhong after confirming that they couldn't ask for any useful information from their mouths, and didn't want those people to shout loudly to shake the hearts of the army. It was not Lin Xuanzhong's intention to kill people in the morning, but there was no other way, because the generals below didn't want Lin Xuanzhong to let those people go.
Today is another day's mountain road, this mountain area seems to have no edge, it seems that no matter how you go, you can't get out, and there are threats everywhere, and you are always on the lookout.
During the march, Lin Xuanzhong personally asked several Yangguo soldiers if there was an area on their march route that was very suitable for the enemy's ambush, but those soldiers who were born near the mountains were of low strength, and none of them had personally checked the specific terrain of this place, and the information they knew was not detailed enough from outsiders, so Lin Xuanzhong could only send some people to check the situation ahead condescendingly, while slowing down the march.
However, there are fierce beasts in the mountains, and if the spies do not come back on time because they encounter the fierce beasts, or because of the terrain problems, the delay in the return journey cannot be used as a basis for the enemy army to lurk, so those spies are always not far from the army. The difficulty of obtaining information made Lin Xuanzhong feel that it was too difficult to control the situation.
